Le Temple D’Olohoum is a Vodou temple led by Mambo Marie-Florence Jean-Joseph. The Temple is dedicated to the observance of Vodou. It focuses on creating a physical, mental, moral and, most importantly, spiritual environment for the practice of Vodou. We believe in the Great Olohoum, the Creator of the universe, omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent, governing the universe through the angels, the "mistè," or "zangn," as we name them, the supernatural found everywhere throughout the world.
The Temple’s mission is to provide a safe haven for worship and religious observance according to the principles of Haitian Vodou; to foster the Haitian Vodou identity of our youth; and to enhance the spiritual, mental, moral and physical welfare of all members and the surrounding community through various religious activities, cultural celebrations and social events.
We consider our members in their totality, as spiritual beings living a human life. As such, we take into consideration all aspects of our members’ lives. We can not practice virtue without peace—peace of mind, peace of the heart, peace in the material necessities of food and shelter.
